Is this psoriasis that i have!?!


Question: Is this psoriasis that i have!.?
I am of african descent (dark complexion) and over the recent weeks i have been getting these patches on my skin.

They are on my whole neck leading up to my hairline on the back of my head the skin is dry, raised flaky but because of my complexion its hard to see if its red. It itches alot, sometime i get little cuts when i really scratch it and it burns or stings sometimes, sometimes its so painful i cant move my neck and i saw it after i had on a necklace (which i got for christmas) normally i cant wear costume jewellery and i thought it was that, but after a little research and looking at a few pics i think it is that i have.

Does anyone think so.?
I had it a few years ago but the doc said it was a caululized rash whatever that means and gave me a stearoid cream (cant remember the name) and reccomended me to a skin clinic, but i did not have an outbreak at the time so they couldnt do anything, then it stopped after i got pregnant and reappeared 1year after i had my daughter..

If it truly is psoriasis is there any otc drugs i can take without getting a prescription.?
I have to go back to the clinic but my appointment isnt until march and its really itchy and bugging me.Health Question & Answer

It may be that, but it also sounds like it can be eczema. They make a shampoo for psoriasis, you can get it a drug stores in the shampoo section. Try Aveno lotion to help relieve the itching. It has oatmeal in it. My daughter has eczema and that's what I use with her.Health Question & Answer

You can find ALOT of home remidies to make your psoriasis better. The best i know is using ALoe Vera plant and cutting it to obtain the juice and put it on the affected area..

It does sound like psoriasis, but i dont really know this for sure.. Jewerly can irritate the skin but it can't cause things like psoriasis to appear magically.. It can obviously cause a rash outbreak if your skin can't tolerate the material..

also there are many types of psoriasis, and its hard to determine since im not a dermatologist.

Best thing to do is search something like "Home treatments for psoriasis" "How to cure allergic reactions causing rash"Health Question & Answer

I have psoriasis and have had it since i was a baby. It def could be psoriasis or maybe just eczema. Psoriasis comes in many forms. Mine is very dry, itchy and i have white patches. It is mainly on the joints like elbows,knees,ankles,etc. It can get worse and spread by stress, certain foods you eat and scratching. For non prescription aids You can try Tar soaps and shampoos, they really smell but might work for you. Theres also psoriasin gel found at drug stores. You can try fish oil as well. When you do go to the dermatologist and if it is psoriasis they will probably prescribe you a steroid cream(cortisone) or light treatment. GoodluckHealth Question & Answer
